Interested in seeing a heartwarming tale with an uplifting moral and familiar, lovable characters come to life on stage? Look no further than “It’s a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play” at the Arkansas Repertory Theatre in Little Rock.

Set at a 1940s radio station on Christmas Eve, this live radio version of Frank Capra’s classic 1946 film features dozens of characters from Bedford Falls. 

In case you forgot the plot of this wonder-filled classic, George Bailey, faced with the threat of scandal and financial ruin, experiences a crisis of faith and wishes he had never been born.

Clarence, a guardian angel, makes it his mission to restore George’s will to live. Every life lived makes a difference in other lives, whether it’s obvious or not.
